Nature Scavenger Hunt

This Free Nature Scavenger Hunt is a great activity for early learners to have fun with. As you can tell from the picture above, there are pictures and words so that it appeals and is simple for everyone in the family to join in on the fun.

With 8 different objects to find, the kids will be walking around (or running) and excited about finding all the items that they can. And of course, feel free to add in your own items for them to locate and find as well!

There are so many interesting things to discover in nature that this list can be forever growing.

Printable Activities for Kids

Another fun idea is to print off a few outdoor scavenger hunt printables and explore different areas around town. It gives your children a chance to explore the great outdoors and to see just how different nature and the surroundings can vary from place to place.

You can also add a fun element of having your child use your phone to take pictures of what they find, too! There’s no wrong way to do this nature scavenger hunt!

This is one of the best preschool printables to have on hand for the spring and summer months. It’s also one that your child can do over and over again because nature is always changing!

Outdoor Nature Scavenger Hunt

We’ve actually done this simple outdoor activity several times because nature looks different depending on the day. One the days that it is sunny, we tend to see things a bit more clearly. And on the days that it’s cloudy, the overcast creates fun shadows and opens our eyes differently as well.
